– It’s like a dream. I’ve had a tough season so far. We have had ups and downs. It felt so good to have a victory today, and especially here in Monaco. As a child, you dream of being here, Hauger said after the triumph in an interview shown on Viasport. The Norwegian dominated the whole field, and won superbly. The performance impressed the experts. – He has simply driven from the rest of the field, and has constantly been among the fastest on the track. It is not possible to be more impressed, said Viasat’s Formula expert Henning Isdal after Hauger dominated the rest of the field, and rushed to victory in Formula 2. And the victory came after a dramatic start. Hauger started the race in second position, on the track in Monaco where it is almost impossible to complete the overtaking. The narrow streets make it difficult to climb the results list, but the Norwegian received a gift package from Jake Hughes, who started first.

The car did not budge. – He does not get away, Viasat’s commentator Atle Gulbrandsen exclaimed. Then Hauger seized the opportunity with both hands, and rushed straight up the lead. Dominated Then Hauger completely dominated. The Norwegian moved quickly from the rest of the field, and got a hatch in over two seconds. At the same time, he set the fastest lap time of the race over and over again. A crash after only ten laps between Ayumu Iwasa and Clement Novalak sent the safety car out, and collected the field again. But Hauger withstood the pressure, and kept away from the competitors who chased right behind. Again he built a hatch and controlled the field. Thus, the Norwegian rushed to victory – something no Norwegian has done before him in Formula 2. In the end, he won superbly with 6 seconds down to teammate Jehan Daruvala in second place. Marcus Armstrong finished third. Tomorrow the main race awaits. Then Hauger starts in ninth position. Glamorous scene Last year, Hauger won several races in Formula 3, and eventually ended up winning the entire championship. This gave him the opportunity to step up to Formula 2. The championship is the second highest level, and serves runners to Formula 1. From last year’s season, Guanyu Zhou took the road from Formula 2 to Formula 1. The year before, among others, Mick Schumacher did the same . The Formula 1 race in Monaco is known as the prestigious race weekend of the year. The race has been going on every single year since 1929. The glamor is also palpable. In the stands, one celebrity is bigger than the other, and right next to the trail are the yachts in the harbor with a view of the drama. GOOD VIEW: You can see well from the yachts in the harbor.
